OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH MIKE ROWE

As the largest producer of home and garden events in North America, we are thrilled to partner with skilled-trade advocate Mike Rowe, best known as the creator and host of Dirty Jobs, to promote our home shows. Rowe, who has been identified by
Forbes as one of the country’s 10 Most Trustworthy Celebrities, will appear in the show advertising campaigns and make personal appearances at select shows each year.

“It was Mike Rowe’s work with his foundation, the
mikeroweWORKS Foundation, and the fact that he has become an important voice in sounding the alarm around the skilled trade gap, that drew us to this partnership,” explained Tom Baugh, CEO of Marketplace Events.

“The mikeroweWORKS Foundation is committed to supporting the local builders, remodelers, installers, repairmen, and all skilled tradespeople who do the jobs that most people are unable or untrained to do,” said Rowe. “I
look forward to working with Marketplace Events in support of these companies and the home shows.”
